Thread: Michkov next year
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GMDannyB</b></div><div>Don’t see Minnesota accepting unless it’s our 2024 1st</div></div>

Probably. Frost is a bigger than Rossi so he'd check that block that Guerin apparently is after but can he play top 6 center? I don't watch many Flyers games so no idea, but if his ceiling is a 3C than he's a bandaid for next season and the appeal would be the draft pick which Colorado's will likely be in the late 20s next year unless they get slammed with the injury bug. Neither seem like they'd help the team in the long run more than Rossi might be able to. Getting pick #12 in this draft could be a chance for the Wild to either add 2 more prospects to their pool or package them to try to move up.

Again, I'm not familiar with the Flyers. Is their prospect pool in a position where they could give up a 1st this draft to bring in a young center still on his ELC?

Thread: Leaf trolls here is the only way to get rid of Marner
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>draft_em_sign_em_trade_em</b></div><div>And with fans/media/team mates/management are making it obvious that Marner is not in the Leafs long term plans, any team that desires him can and will wait until July 1st 2025, unless Marner gets a cash dump trade with zero value. Or requests a trade (unlikely).</div></div>

Marner getting to pick where he'd potentially go does likely limit what the Leafs could reasonably expect for a return, but I think you're wrong in suggesting there won't be a GM wanting to make a splash this summer that wouldn't give up some assets to make their team better immediately and then have the potential carrot of being able to offer an 8th year if Marner's camp is now open to that idea. GMs don't often wait for a player to hit UFA status if they can land the player they want now, especially if that GM is starting to feel their seat get warm.

Thread: Minnesota Wild signed Marc-André Fleury (1 Year / $2,500,000 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NorthernLeafsFan05</b></div><div>I love Flower, but this seems rich for a guy who's been pretty mid this year. Minnesota needs all the money they can get too. Good mentor for Wallstedt I guess</div></div>

They were never going to be the most active team this summer, since most of their roster is pretty well set and they'll need to start thinking about Faber and Rossi's extensions the year after which will eat up a large chunk of the buyout dead cap they get back. Extending Zuccarello, Hartman, and Foligno so early gave them clarity on what they'll need next year with some space for a couple rookies to fight for a spot. They'll probably just be in on any bargain 1 year deals the week after free agency opens.

Thread: Treliving Statement Offseason
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ac3L1ght</b></div><div>I swear people never pay attention to the prospect pools. Becky is top 10 in our pool, and probably in line for full main status next year. Kampf can rot in Coralville if he comes here.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RazWild</b></div><div>It's hardly even that.

I'd be hard pressed to cough up the the 3rd for Kampf. There's no cance we'd ADD a prospect, let alone one like Beckman.</div></div>

Honestly I'd be more upset about the 3rd round pick and taking on $2.4m for a 4th liner for another few years over Beckman, who more and more to me just doesn't look like a guy who is a NHL player. Idk.. maybe he needs to go somewhere else to get a fresh start but he hasn't done anything to stand out really.

But yeah.. $2.4m for a 4C? We don't need one of those, we already have a Gaudreau at home. ;)
